 Gator glide in sand
Is there any point in using gator glide for sandy rivers?

 Re: Gator glide in sand
I don't think anything will help with sand. It may work but I wouldn't think for very long. Sand is the devil.

 Re: Gator glide in sand
If you wanted to remove the GG, that'd get the job done

 Re: Gator glide in sand
It wears it pretty quick when running. I have to touch up after duck season. If the sand is still a little wet from tide dropping and not dry dry it makes it much easier to push. I've pushed my boat 25 yards to water before on a sand bar

 Re: Gator glide in sand
I hate sand but that's all I run is a sandy river up in Oklahoma. Sounds like I would help but would get expensive

 Re: Gator glide in sand
The one good thing about sand on gg, it's done the prep work for you just reapply.

 Re: Gator glide in sand
Sand will wear down a stainless prop in less than an hour. If you're not running that kind of sand GatorGlide is a must IMO. Don't get stuck without it!!!!

 Re: Gator glide in sand
Oh, no doubt I can travel further with than without it. The sand and clay I run will kill a prop. The gg actually it's doing pretty good considering what I run over.
